Chinese contemporary artist Ai Weiwei has been arrested, placed under police surveillance, accused of tax evasion and even had his studio demolished. Arguably, because he went in pursuit of justice. Justice for the loss of over 5,000 lives of children, who died as a consequence of studying in poorly constructed classrooms that collapsed during the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake. Justice for Yang Jia, a man from Beijing, who was executed for murdering six Shanghai police officers, four years ago, as a reaction to not having access to proper legal recourse after authorities accused him of riding an unlicensed bicycle. Justice for his people, whose right to free speech is routinely quashed by the Chinese government.

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei uses the camera — a tool used to subjugate him by authorities by keeping him under surveillance — as a means to speak out against the very forces that seek to silence him
